ABSTRACT

This study, the relationship between role stress, emotional exhaustion, and mental health was verified based on the SSO model in order to secure basic data necessary to prepare preventive measures for emotional exhaustion and mental health of Community children's center workers. A survey of workers employed in a community children's center located in Daejeon, South Korea, was conducted, and a causal relationship model including the variables of role stress (Stress), emotional exhaustion (Strain), and mental health (Outcome) was tested by the structural equation model using the data from 140 respondents. In the analysis results, the research model’s goodness-of-fit was statistically significant. In an examination of the correlation among the variables, the role stress was proven to affect mental health through emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, role overload had a direct effect on mental health. Based on these results, this paper discussed various support plans to reduce role stress, which is an influential factor of emotional exhaustion and mental health.
